Yield 1 9 inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon zest, divided
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon extract
2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (must use fresh)
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (must use fresh)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
fresh strawberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat 3/4 cup butter at medium speed of an electric mixture until creamy; gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tbsp lemon zest, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the butter mixture. Mix at low speed until blended. Stir in the lemon extract. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9 inch round cakepan with 2 inch sides.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan. Place cake on a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  • Combine 2/3 cup powdered sugar and 1/3 cup lemon juice in a small bowl, stirring until blended. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm cake. Let the cake cool completely.
  • Combine 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tbsp butter, and remaining 1 tbsp lemon zest in a medium bowl; beat well. Spread on top of the cooled cake. Serve with strawberries if desired.

Not a fan. The cake was too dense and the glaze was too sweet.

The cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the glaze helped to improve the texture. Overall, it was a good recipe.
